they've just issued a statement that they'll make the 'slash' and 'femslash' categories unavailable to russian users in exchange for getting unbanned. some other adjacent features will also be region-locked. they quite literally and specifically banned yaoi and yuri from russian audiences
i haven't used ficbook in years and years but i'll come back just to see the "unavailable in your country" banner roll across the suspiciously gen-centric trending page like a tumbleweed
they just banned yaoi in russia

someone in russian censorship knows where to get that good international anime yaoi
